Item 5.       Other Events.

         As previously reported, Enstar Income Program 1984-1, L.P. (the
"Partnership"), together with certain affiliates (collectively, the "Selling
Partnerships"), entered into a purchase and sale agreement, dated as of June 21,
2000, as amended September 29, 2000 (the "Agreement"), with Multimedia
Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of Gans Multimedia Partnership (the
"Purchaser"). The Agreement provides for the Purchaser to acquire the assets
comprising the Partnership's Snowhill, North Carolina and Brownsville, Tennessee
cable systems, as well as certain assets of the other Selling Partnerships. The
Purchaser's obligations under the Agreement are subject to a number of closing
conditions, including the condition (the "90% Condition") that the grantors of
the franchises, covering 90% of the aggregate subscribers of the Selling
Partnerships, consent to transfer those franchises to the Purchaser.

         The grantor of one such franchise, which accounts for over 10% of the
aggregate subscribers of the Selling Partnerships, has informed the Partnership
that it does not intend to consent to the transfer of that franchise to the
Purchaser. We presently are seeking to determine whether the Purchaser will
waive the 90% Condition or amend the Agreement so as to permit the sale to be
consummated. Without such a waiver or amendment, the Agreement may not be
consummated.

         On November 17, 2000, the Partnership filed a Preliminary Consent
Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to which the
Partnership's general partner would solicit consents from the limited partners
to approve the Agreement. In light of the foregoing events, the Partnership has
decided at this time to withdraw the Preliminary Consent Statement.
